Continuing to try Mexican restaurants in my area and this caught my eyes in doordash. The torta a appeared to be much better but that wasn't totally the case. Tacos al pastor- not bad and priced fine but the adobo or sauce used for the pork didn't taste like homemade recipe. It was on the sweeter side and just looked and tasted watered down. Other than that it was cooked well and the overall taste was fine just not the best al pastor I've had. Asada torta- I was really excited about this based on the pictures I had seen. I did like that they flattened the torta and the overall taste was good. There wasn't nearly enough filling though. Especially for the price you expect a good amount of filling and this was on the lighter side. The last bit of bread was even fully empty. It was juice which was great to taste. In the picture I had seen there was more avocado as well. Good taste but not enough filling for the price. read more

I have had a zillion tacos and these were the best I've tasted in a very long time. Great flavor and they had everything made very quickly. The owners Victor and Carmen were very nice and we had a great conversation. They make everything from scratch which is rare these days. I also appreciated how clean the entire restaurant was. It is super easy to jump off Broadway get a bunch of great food and either eat there in their booths or head home. Will definitely be coming back for more. read more

This place is horrible. For starters the the nachos are stale and the tortas where soggy. The customer service is very bad they often tell you that you complain too much. I don't recommend. read more

Very bad service! Went to get menudo three women were just standing in the back eating. Like it was no big deal I was like umm is someone going to get my menudo? As I'm standing there watching them eat. read more

Fast affordable and really good authentic Mexican food! I loved going here as a kid and love going here as an adult. The menudo is extremely good, with hand made tortillas always, the tortas have something that's really distinct from others, my go to for lunch !! Customer service is always nice read more

This place is clean and sanitary. I have been coming here since I was a teen in the 2000s. Everyone here treats me like family. Greers me with a smile and a wave. Always knows how picky I am with my torras yet exceeds my expectations always. They just know how to cook like mom. I highly recommend supporting this small business they make better sandwiches than subway and are more fresh. Instead of helping a chain restaurant across the way come here they have better sandwiches called tortas they are fresh and beyond tasty. Will always come here esp now during hard times they need our support. read more

We stop here regularly when driving from the Bay Area to Atascadero to visit family. It's the kind of Mexican food I grew up eating which sadly I can't really get where I live. I'm partial to a ground beef enchilada and the tacos governador, but there are lots of good choices of course. My son is a particular fan of the carne asada. The restaurant has a very friendly and kind of festive atmosphere. They have a slew of Michelada type drinks but on a larger level. Like it's a Michelada/Bloody Mary/shrimp cocktail combo. Not for me but my husband likes to try them. Festive like I said! And of course Mexican food always keeps the whole family happy. read more

In santa maria there are many many options for Mexican food and lots of those options are just mediocre. Sadly, this place can be lumped in with that bunch. We tried the tacos- not much flavor Burrito de asada- mostly rice, super spicy couldn't enjoy it, and I like spicy Menudo seems to be what most were ordering, my husband tried it and said it was decent and price was good at $9 Also, you order at the counter and then sit, there are no signs indicating this in English or spanish. We sat and had to figure this out on our own, they weren't very busy at the time. So maybe the cashier could have let us know to order at counter. read more

todo esta delicioso ademas el menudo con sus tortillas recien hechas mmmm me encanta :) con un servicio excelente

Nunca contestan el teléfono, y una señora contesto muy feo porque ya ivan a cerrar. Ademas la carne esta vieja

Quality of food is disgusting. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Rude customer service. Bathrooms are filthy.

Craving an asada torta so I Ordered in because my lunch is on 30 minutes and i work clear across town! Super friendly service. I've came here for years, and keep coming back! Today, I was a bit disappointed, their lettuce was old and dry and the bottom bread was super soggy and they missed the avocado. I'm use to having the bread be a little crunchy, not this time. And I've ordered to-go many times before. read more

First time customer. Ordered a carne asada torta. Where's the beef is my question. They also forgot the avocado mmmm.... Very disappointed won't be returning read more

I've ordered only a few items - birria - menudo - tortas - burritos And most of the time to go, so im gonna say that food quality and flavor is excellent, fair prices and fast service (if u order by phone, especially weekends). read more

Hated it This place is terrible all around. Terrible presentation, terrible services. I bought some enchiladas today, they were garnished by BROWN shredded lettuce, the cheese wasn't even completely melted. No wonder the place was empty, oh except for the one older man who had clearly had 2-3 beers at not even 9:30 in the morning yet. I will recommend people NOT to go to this place. read more

Love the tortas! Hella cheap place to come eat..cash only though but food is bomb! Authentic Mexican food. Will continue to come here read more

Horrible costumer service took forever to attend. The workers saw us and just ignored us, didn't even acknowledge that we were waiting. After several minutes we decided to leave. read more

I really like their food. My family and I really like their tortas, especially de pastor and the licuados.

Horrible just awful, spent almost $20 dollars for a torta and burrito. I asked for no onions in my burrito, all it had inside was onion cilantro and meat. I'm so mad, waste of money, gas, and time. I have to go buy food somewhere else now because I cannot eat an entire burrito full of ONION. Thanks for taking my money and not listening to my order. Don't go here read more

I love the food, I love the staff, and I love the licuados (smoothies). every Saturday and Sunday they offer the best menudo, and birria. Try the torta de pierna super delicious. Give it a try, you won't regret it. read more

I was in town and went to have lunch with my mom here and I ordered the torta Cubana and she had one of Asada went I got mine it was mostly all ham little bit of meat and they put old yucky brown lettuce wtf!? They have gone down over the years I'm not surprised that their clientele has too read more

I used to come here when I was in high school. Not sure what's happened or maybe because I've discovered more restaurants that offer tastier foods. But things have definitely changed. I ordered the carne asada torta and burrito a few days ago and it has basically little to no taste. Super disappointed because as I've said, this has always been a go to place for me because it's nearby. I spent $15 which I could have spent a couple of dollars more for better food if only I drove a little more to a different restaurant. Location is great! read more

Worse customer service ever!!! It use to be one of my favorite places to eat. Not anymore!! I order some pastor tacos and gave me asada wtf!! When I told them that she gave me the wrong food they wouldn't even change it!! They made me pay again!! And they kept staring at me while eating and whispering to each other in the back!! There lucky they're getting 1 star! read more

Been eating here for years and never been disappointed tortas and tacos are great the pastor is awesome unlike any other and can't beat the price thanks riconcito read more

Lately the prices have gone up but the quality has gone way down. A few separate times we were given stale nachos with barely any cheese and my torta had a slice of black, rotten avocado. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired, they were rude 2 separate times when I asked about prices. The teenage girl cashiering overcharged me and gave me attitude when I questioned it and got angry. Was a regular customer and it used to be good but the quality has gone extremely downhill. read more

So far, I have had some great experience here with the food. I love the tortas and nachos.

Super cheap, great tasting Mexican Food. I always go for the Torta Al Pastor. Delish! One will fill you up. They have a very unique blend of shakes...shake#1 is the best! two people can eat here for about $10! Nice!!! read more

Best tortas in town. I love the torta de pastor. Quick and affordable. Also can't go wrong with the licuados.

Best tortas hands down! Cheap place and awesome food. All their licuados are delicious! Must visit

The food is always fresh. They take phone orders and have prompt friendly service. The best Tortas in town. It's a family run business that takes a lot of pride in their product and service. read more

The food in El Rinconcito has the most delicious food than any other Mexican restaurant. I have tried everything from the menu at least once and not once have I complained. Since I was 6 years old I have gone to El Rinconcito my personal favorite is las tortas. The service is amazing they are kind and the place feels like a second home to me. Everything is clean and tidy. My family and I go to El Rinconcito ever special occasion or just a place to go eat. It's a place to socialize get away from technology and just spend time with the family if you are a busy person.    El Rinconcito has so many types of food from tortas to smoothies. They have a salsa bar with different types of salsas, lime, sliced onions, cilantro etc. Every time I go there I order una torta de asada and a smoothie. When you bite into a carne asada torta you can taste the fresh  ripped tomatoes, the lettuce, the tasty avocado slices and the grilled meat that in every bite you can taste a explosion of flavor that combine perfectly together.    Are you looking for a place that feel like a second home and a great atmosphere. El Rinconcito is a great place to go. At Saturday evening they're  families enjoying a great meal, socializing and taking in the warmth and the tasty food that is prepared. read more

After years and years of coming here , I still continue to be in love with their tortas here. Totally recommend

As authentic as it gets! Genuinely friendly service & cheap prices! The licuados (shakes) remind me of being in Mexico.
